Focus of Working:

Spraying fruit trees is a standard practice in IPM for fruit growers (conventional and organic) to control plant diseases and insect pests. In this Working Group we focus on all aspects related to spray applications,  such as optimizing spray deposition and minimizing spray drift. Also, aspects of precision technology such as remote sensing, the use of UAVs, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index mapping, and machine learning are included.

 

Planned activities:

Meeting: 15th Workshop on Spray Application and Precision Technology in Fruit Growing, July 16-18, 2019 (UK)
